Googlers for Climate Action

Googlers Want Action on Climate! (🥑GWAC? 🥑)

All opinions our own – we do not speak for our employer.
✊🌍❤️

[Googlers for Climate Action @ClimateGooglers]

Today, over a thousand Googlers are calling on Google to commit to a comprehensive climate plan: https://t.co/xrjYdCB5pw

[Amazon Employees For Climate Justice @AMZNforClimate]

Workers throughout Amazon's downtown Seattle campus asking for time off to vote. One day off for democracy - what would you do with election time off?

[Amazon Employees For Climate Justice @AMZNforClimate]

Join us at our voter registration, rally & march this Sat in downtown Seattle & an Amazon warehouse to demand that Amazon give all workers paid time off to vote.

We are less than three weeks from the election. Amazon must act now. Join us & pls share widely! #AmazonTimeOffToVote

[Googlers for Climate Action @ClimateGooglers]

We can not build a strong base of worker power, worker representation, without respect for our colleagues. And the first step to respecting our peers is to listen when they say that our workplace conditions are hurting them.

[Googlers for Climate Action @ClimateGooglers]

Workers – keep sharing your stories. We need to understand what prevents our colleagues from feeling safe and respected in the workplace. Our mission as organizers for any cause – climate, antiracism, AI ethics – is contingent upon building an inclusive, well-supported workforce.

[DiscoTech @discotechorg]

Today we’re publishing 100 stories of discrimination from the tech industry. We’re a group of cross-company organizers committed to ending discrimination in tech — discrimination by race, gender, sexual orientation, disability status, immigration status, and more. #TechTruths

[Googlers for Climate Action @ClimateGooglers]

We completely agree. Part of the responsibility of hosting and serving information is grappling with the implication of serving catastrophic lies. The ad dollars just aren't worth it.

[Googlers for Climate Action @ClimateGooglers]

Google's carbon-free pledge is both GREAT and NOT ENOUGH. While G still funds climate deniers, sells climate denial ads, and maintains oil&gas contracts, workers will keep speaking up!

We can both celebrate our wins and keep an eye on the end goal: a livable, equitable future.

Google aims to run on carbon-free energy by 2030 https://t.co/nGURKGdIiq

[Amazon Employees For Climate Justice @AMZNforClimate]

THREAD/ ‼️ Today is a big win for @ClimateGooglers and tech activists everywhere: @Google announced a new environmental pledge to run its operations on 100% carbon-free energy by 2030. See below for our response ⤵️

[Rebecca Sheppard @EbexSheppard]

Congratulations @ClimateGooglers!!! Zero carbon IS possible it just takes a vision, passionate employees and passionate climate organisers! 🌍🔄🌱💛 looking forward to seeing Amazon get even more ambitious on its climate pledge!

[Googlers for Climate Action @ClimateGooglers]

🎉🎉 This is fantastic news from Google and a great precedent for Big Tech! Ramping up on renewable energy at Google scale is a great step toward cleaner grids!

@amazon @microsoft @facebook YOU'RE UP NEXT! 🎉

[Sundar Pichai @sundarpichai]

As of today, Google is the 1st major company to eliminate our entire carbon legacy, including before we became carbon neutral in 2007. We’re also proud that by 2030, we aim to operate on 24/7 carbon-free energy in our data centers & campuses worldwide.

Amazon is afraid of its own workers – and with good cause.

This year, Amazon workers showed that they won't sit idly while the company jeopardizes the planet, or the safety of their co-workers during a pandemic.

Amazon considers camaraderie a threat.

[Microsoft Workers 4 Good @MsWorkers4]

This is disgusting.
If an Amazon recruiter reaches out, make sure to share this as an example of creating a hostile work environment. Feel free to add in how they treat their warehouse workers.

[Collective Action in Tech @tech_actions]

Workers are taking action for the Black Lives Matter movement and holding companies accountable for the systemic racism our industry exploits. We’re in this together but we still have a long way to go. Here’s how we can make change together:

No wonder Amazon keeps taking Oil money...

@Amazon - eyes on the road!!! #bigtechlovesbigoil https://t.co/BnfjtjZYPz

Googlers + Xooglers + Users: best team ever!?

[Googlers for Climate Action @ClimateGooglers]

Way to go @XR_NYC (and so many others!!) for making memes to call out @Google's contracts with big oil. The tech industry has a LONG way to go before becoming a positive influence on our planet. Don't let up the pressure!

Your voice matters! ✊🌍❤️

[Extinction Rebellion Brent (London) @XRBrentLondon]

Whilst @Google claims to take the #climatecrisis seriously, they're partnering with Big Oil companies to destroy our planet. 💀⚠️🛢
